Bro, I just typed mixing vocals on reaper. Epic!

[@WodzuBeats]

Glad to hear hear that, haha 😀

[@dayzrustream]

At first I thought that when you bypass ReaEQ, it becomes grey in Reaper. But then I realized it's your video edit move =) It's great that with a recent Reaper update you can do "Toggle delta solo" action for any FX. This may help to hear what EQ or saturation plugin are really doing. Quite a useful feature for ANY free plugins that don't even have this implemented.

[@WodzuBeats]

Nice, gotta check that out!

[@loskyyy9881]

good

[@arenrick]

This really saved my day, thanks. Could we have something similar for a basic mastering ?

[@WodzuBeats]

Definitely 😉 I'll make one as I finish building my new studio

[@asiullopes]

that was a great video! thank you, i'm just getting into vocals! also i think deepness would be depth (i'm not a native english speaker as well)

[@WodzuBeats]

Yeah, it's a basic word, but I sometimes forget the basics haha

[@kirkjohnson3530]

That's what I was going to say. It'd be nice to speak multiple languages and only forget a word here and there. Good video! Thanks. 👍

[@mvtyboi8509]

zajebisty materiał rzeczowy w chuj pozdrawiam

[@WodzuBeats]

Dzięki bardzo 😎 Pozdrawiam

[@usedtowels]

damn, you made those vocals sound pretty smooth. what do you think is the most important thing a dry recording can have in order for it to be usable? im trying to record/mix some vocals, but they sound too out of place, like it's not mixing well. thanks for the video!

[@WodzuBeats]

Well, the recording should have not too much of the room reverb if possible, you should record with a pop filter and find a sweet spot as far as the distance from the microphone is concerned (not too far because the voice would be really dry, but not too close so you don't have the proximity effect)

[@NiME9600]

the fact that you advertised third party plugins in a video about stock plugins is as funny as it is smart :D

[@WodzuBeats]

well, it definitely wasn't meant to be interpreted like that, but it may look like it was, haha my main goal was to show that I'm not using stock plugins for my everyday work, but I left it for the end where most of the people don't watch anymore

[@revaintunes6947]

Okay, but what I go into the compressions to adjust it what do I press to add the effect to the vocal? Enter doesn't work and it doesn't put it in the vocal when I click add.

[@WodzuBeats]

I don't know. Enter or double click should work instantly.

[@danielkandela]

Cześć. Jeśli nagrywam wokale to nagrywać bezpośrednio czysty mikrofon dla późniejszej edycji czy lepiej wykorzystać już procesor dźwiękowy na wejściu ( tc helicon ) ? :) Pozdrawiam.

[@WodzuBeats]

Do późniejszej obróbki zdecydowanie surówka

[@SITRX]

logic pro topic is closed, how can I get it?

[@nandrasrama2481]

how do you lauch the (control for track "..") in the "Applying Vocal Reverb" part?

[@WodzuBeats]

I'm dragging the routing from the vocal track to a reverb send track

[@WodzuBeats]

You can always click the routing button on your track (it needs to be expanded so the button shows up) and change your reverb proportion

[@lilavatar608]

What’s the best way to hear the bad frequency in the eq. I always struggle to pick them up. Please someone give some advice.

[@WodzuBeats]

Boost it really hard in a narrow bandwidth and sweep through the spectrum

Hey brother, at 14:38 you seem to be repeating the same thing.... about taking the main vocal track and putting it on the vocal track and repeat it but mention reverb track... can you clarify that please? thanks brother.

Jak zrobić to w 14:40? Ogólnie dodałem ten reverb w efektach i jest go bardzo dużo, nie wiem jak go zmniejszyć tak jak ty (ja mam tylko 2 tracki - podkład i wokal i na wokalu mam ten reverb dodany)

[@WodzuBeats]

Trzeba stworzyć osobny track z reverbem ustawionym w 100% na wet i tam wysyłać porcje sygnału. Tutaj opisałem w jaki sposób to działa: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJbSkHegeq6Yq8k

​@@WodzuBeatsMyślałem raczej o filmiku na temat miksowania wokalu do bitu bez efektów i tym podobnych, coś w rodzaju boombapowego bitu z bardziej minimalistycznym klimatem, jeśli to ma sens. Przepraszam, polski nie jest moim pierwszym językiem, moja rodzina mówi w języku karpacko rusińskim

[@christiankenon3262]

Do I need the full or discounted license to mix

[@WodzuBeats]

licenses don't vary in terms of the plugins you get - the only difference is if you earn more or less than $20000 a year using Reaper you have to get either a discounted or a commercial license

HI there, I have been watching your videos for some time and I learned alot from you. My Daw is reaper and I am not a professional musacian. Music is my hobby and I love it. Recently I have down loaded and installed Free version Middle Eastern Instrument from Taqsim/Native Instruments, I did the free version to learn and get familiar with first and then buy it. But I believe, I didn't install it properly. If I use any instrument, it doesn't last longer than five minutes and than automaticlly it turns off. Anyway, if you can help, please do so.

[@WodzuBeats]

Unfortunately, free 3rd party instruments used in Kontakt Player are in demo mode that won't allow you to use them more.
